Project Name: Curious Creatures Project Credits:Jimmy McGilchrist Project Brief Description: Strange encounters are reported from the festival site as strange and beautiful creatures venture in from the surrounding woods… Beyond the confines of the festival fencing exists a hybrid parallel world inhabited by strange and beautiful creatures. Strange encounters are reported from the Splendour in the Grass festival site as Curious Creatures venture in from the surrounding woods. Revealed at first by the sounds of twigs crunching under their weight and wailing cries, shadows cast on perimeter fencing both festival punters and wild creatures alike are startled by the presence and close proximity of each other. Inside the perimeter fencing audiences are offered a lucid glimpse into this augmented reality with opportunities to engage in playful encounters with the digital shadows kindling both intimate and hostile engagements. In the illusion of this alternate reality the narrative unfolds over the 3 day event to the explosive music festival audience.
